However. many. many persons are entering the United States from the south. from Mexico. even though we know that Guatemala is a nest of Communist activity. and the Mexican Government at this very time is engaged in almost a death struggle to keep out of Communist control. Nevertheless. in the face of that situation. we leave our southern gate wide open. In that respect we have almost completely abandoned immigration control. I am shocked beyond words that the Congress. which investigates practically eveyone from a baby sitter to a kindergarten teacher. does not impose stringent controls in the case of immigration at the Mexican border. I say that in connection with this matter. the burden of proof does not rest upon the Senator from New York. The truth is that there is a failure tomaintain adequate border control and adequate immigrationcontrol measures along the Mexican border. Certainly no one can justify the failure to provide for adequate immigration control along that border. In that respect the burden of proof does not rest on the Senator from New York or anyone else who does not believe the Mexican border should be left open and virtually uncontrolled as it is.
